Dorothy Yoshida is a telepath and a really rather good one at that.

She's also a scientist and when a small planet begins to manifest some unusual signs she is sent to investigate. The planet is more than it seems and on further investigation the scientists begin to suspect it has been artificially altered.

With Dorothy's arrival, however, they are in for some surprising discoveries.
